The national bestselling author of The Sword, The Ring and The Chalice returns the royal court intrigue, the castle secrets, and the crown scandals of her acclaimed trilogy. The throne was her destiny, until Princess Pheresa lost her groom, Mandria’s heir, to the dark magic that consumed him. Now Pheresa’s fate is uncertain, even when the great King Verence names her Princess Royal, because the title comes with one condition: She must take Lervan, a man of acceptable birth and rank, as her husband. Reluctantly, she agrees. Then, without warning, the old king dies. And Pheresa succeeds to the throne. But all is not well. Many fear that Pheresa has been weakened by the evil magic. Her enemies are strong. Her husband plots against her. And her only ally is the last man she would ever choose—and the one man she should never love.

Magic After Midlife Collection: Books 1-3: A Humorous Paranormal Women's Fiction

By: Deborah Wilde

Featuring a slow burn shifter romance and intelligent snark, this clever mix of urban fantasy and mystery will take you on a wild ride. Miriam Feldman is ditching her shapewear and letting her magic fly free. When Miri was a teen, her parents were murdered by magic assassins. These days, her aggressively normal existence has excellent medical insurance and won’t get her daughter killed. But when her bestie, her ride or die, gets tangled up with some vampires and goes missing, Miriam unleashes the rare and powerful shadow magic she’s kept hidden. It’s heady, liberating—and totally dangerous. Now in a race against time to save her friend, this single mom is descending into the spiderweb of the secret supernatural community where not knowing the rules is a fast-track to a painful end. Her guide? A grumpy French wolf shifter with a particular set of skills, the drive to protect Miri at all costs, and the infuriating habit of constantly disagreeing with her. He may mock her To-Do lists, but he’s learned firsthand that her shadow magic packs a hell of a punch. The tricky thing about shadows, though, is the past casts a long one, and if Miri isn’t careful, those magic assassins will come back for the one who got away—and she’ll lose everything. Fans of Jana DeLeon, Robyn Peterman, and KF Breene, will adore Miri, a smart older heroine with zero effs left to give!

Survivalist to Thrivalist: One Woman's Journey

By: Deborah Kinisky

Deborah Kinisky is thriving. When you read her story, you may at times wonder how. Deborah's "Purple Sky" analogy which is presented in the first book "Purple Sky Survivalist " is interesting and thought provoking. It also lays a good groundwork for the story ahead. Deborah candidly shares her life with a matter-of-factness that takes you off guard. There are events that are at times disturbing and presented just as a day like any other, demonstrating how normalizing atrocious behavior can lead children to grow up with a distorted view of the world. There are moments of humor that will make you laugh out loud. You will question your own view of normal. It's in these moments of questioning and self-analysis that you'll find the truths of your life, as well as the falsehoods. Only by sorting the truth from the lies you can find your own blue skies. "Survivalist to Thrivalist - One Woman's Journey" shows you how Deborah finds her blue skies and became a thrivalist. Her stories will help lead you to your own truths, and help you to thrive. The journey to blue skies is possible for us all and as Deborah shows us, it's worth the trip. Debra Burns BA BEd - Woman, Daughter, Mother.

An Early Tudor Gentleman

Humphrey Newton (1466-1536)

An Early Tudor Gentleman

By: Deborah Youngs

The public and political lives of the fifteenth- and early sixteenth-century gentry have been extensively studied, but comparatively little is known of their private lives and beliefs. Humphrey Newton of Pownall, Cheshire, offers a rare and fascinating opportunity to redress the balance, thanks to the fortunate survival of a commonplace book he compiled c.1498-1524. Drawing upon this unique manuscript, this interdisciplinary and multi-dimensional study of Newton explores his family life, landed estate, legal work, piety, and his literary skills [he composed nearly twenty courtly love lyrics]. It charts his social advancement and the self-fashioning of his gentle image, while placing him in the context of current discussions of gentry culture. What makes Newton even more noteworthy is that he was among the unsung and little known stratum of English society historians have labelled the 'lesser' gentry. As such, this book provides the first comprehensive biography of an early Tudor gentleman. Dr DEBORAH YOUNGS is lecturer in medieval history at Swansea University.

The Bookstore

A Book Club Recommendation!

By: Deborah Meyler

A witty, sharply observed debut novel about a young woman who finds unexpected salvation while working in a quirky used bookstore in Manhattan. Brilliant, idealistic Esme Garland moves to Manhattan armed with a prestigious scholarship at Columbia University. When Mitchell van Leuven—a New Yorker with the bluest of blue New York blood—captures her heart with his stunning good looks and a penchant for all things erotic, life seems truly glorious...until a thin blue line signals a wrinkle in Esme’s tidy plan. Before she has a chance to tell Mitchell about her pregnancy, he suddenly declares their sex life is as exciting as a cup of tea, and ends it all. Determined to master everything from Degas to diapers, Esme starts work at a small West Side bookstore, finding solace in George, the laconic owner addicted to spirulina, and Luke, the taciturn, guitar-playing night manager. The oddball customers are a welcome relief from Columbia’s high-pressure halls, but the store is struggling to survive in this city where nothing seems to last. When Mitchell recants his criticism, his passion and promises are hard to resist. But if Esme gives him a second chance, will she, like her beloved bookstore, lose more than she can handle? A sharply observed and evocative tale of learning to face reality without giving up on your dreams, The Bookstore is sheer enchantment from start to finish.

As the search for Ashmole 782—the lost and enchanted manuscript whose mystery first pulled Diana and Matthew into one another's orbit—deepens and Diana seeks out a witch to tutor her in magic, the net of Matthew's past tightens around them. Together they find they must embark on a very different—and vastly more dangerous—journey. “A captivating and romantic ripping yarn,”* Shadow of Night confirms Deborah Harkness as a master storyteller, able to cast an “addictive tale of magic, mayhem and two lovers”(Chicago Tribune).

Turning the Tide for the Next Generation

By: Deborah Bradberry Solomon

I have been an avid reader for many years, have studied effective leaders throughout history, and have been writing editorials and letters to newspapers and other publications. I am an optimist by nature and believe most people just need to be encouraged to bring out the best in them and we find that there are many heroic and honorable people living all around us. I have written this book discussing what has shaped and influenced my views of the world. Perhaps you may relate to some of the stories I share. I also write about some suspicious deaths that have taken place the more I have gotten involved making my views public. It seems common sense to me that strategies I discuss could be implemented in the culture, and in the major political parties or a third political party could be started. This would help us in "Turning the Tide" for the next generation!

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Domestic Abolitionism and Juvenile Literature, 1830-1865

By: Deborah C. De Rosa

Deborah C. De Rosa examines the multifaceted nature of domestic abolitionism, a discourse that nineteenth-century women created to voice their political sentiments when cultural imperatives demanded their silence. For nineteenth-century women struggling to find an abolitionist voice while maintaining the codes of gender and respectability, writing children's literature was an acceptable strategy to counteract the opposition. By seizing the opportunity to write abolitionist juvenile literature, De Rosa argues, domestic abolitionists were able to enter the public arena while simultaneously maintaining their identities as exemplary mother-educators and preserving their claims to "femininity." Using close textual analyses of archival materials, De Rosa examines the convergence of discourses about slavery, gender, and children in juvenile literature from 1830 to 1865, filling an important gap in our understanding of women's literary productions about race and gender, as well as our understanding of nineteenth-century American literature more generally.
